My understanding is most bugs are ironed out of btrfs itself, but tooling is still weak. For example, if you have a disk drive go bad on you and you manage to recover ~ half of the sectors with a disk imaging tool, you won't be able to extract files from the image without extreme effort.

Why hasn't this caught up? Is it the case that data recovery companies are hoarding this after investing in their own tools, or something fundamental to the community?
